1. To discourage the sales of certain products
For example, the government impose a really high tax for cigarettes and gasoline. Both of these products tend to create damages to the environment and the health of the people who use them. Because of this, the government impose a high taxes in order to make the price become more expensive
2, To increase government budget.
The taxes that citizens pay to the government would be allocated to the budget that the government can use to fund their programs (such as infrastructure building, grants, health benefits, military , etc).
Yes, if everyone voted on economic decisions rather than letting markets decide them, then it could be considered a socialist direct democracy
Direct democracy : a condition in which the people are directly involved in the Governance
Socialist : a condition in which a country's resource are controlled by social community and also for their own benefit
